Poblano Pepper Powder on the Nesco Snackmaster Pro
I’m a big fan of poblano peppers. They aren’t super hot and they have such great pepper flavor. I love them stuffed, roasted, sliced on a sandwich, however. And now, I love them dried.
Servings 12 peppers

Ingredients
- 12 Poblano peppers I used a mix of 4 each of green, yellow, orange and red. I was able to fit approximately 2 peppers per Nesco Snackmaster Pro tray
Instructions
- Set your dehydrator to 135 F.
- Rinse the peppers. Remove the stems and seeds and cut into chunks. If you are not using screen trays you'll want to cut fairly large pieces so they do not fall between the trays.
- Dehydrate for 12-16 hours. Rotate the trays every 2 hours if possible.
- Once all the peppers are dry and a bit crisp remove and let cool.
- Process the peppers in the grinder until they form a fine powder. If some pieces of pepper do not grind return them to the dehydrator for another hour or so until crisp.
- Keep the powder in an air-tight container. I place mine in a Mason jar, cover it, then use a vacuum-sealer attachment specifically for jars to remove all of the air.
